Modeling Malaria Infection and Immunity against Variant Surface Antigens in Príncipe Island, West Africa
After remarkable success of vector control campaigns worldwide, concerns about loss of immunity against Plasmodium falciparum due to lack of exposure to the parasite are relevant since an increase of severe cases in less immune individuals is expected. We present a mathematical model to investigate...
